"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]
FIrst, he’s not my man, my man was canned by the media. Second, I’m pointing out that the religion factor seems less formidable in SC where I, and I’m guessing you, thought it would be impossible for him to overcome.

On another occasion Brigham Young made this chilling statement regarding a person's obligation to spill the blood of those who committed serious sins:
"Now take a person in this congregation who has knowledge with regard to being saved... and suppose that he is overtaken in a gross fault, that he has committed a sin that he knows will deprive him of that exaltation which he desires, and that he cannot attain to it without the shedding his blood, and also knows that by having his blood shed he will atone for that sin and be saved and exalted with the Gods, is there a man or woman in this house but what would say, 'shed my blood that I may be saved and exalted with the Gods?'

However, my problems with Romney is he is a moderate to liberal guy. His economics is big business/government centered, not on free markets/consumers. He disguises his liberalism and economics with punch words and key talking points. The guy was so unpopular in Mass. he did not run for a second term, yet is slick enough to convince the establishment he can make an impact with NE moderates. He has convinced everyone he is the "market" guy because he was in the business world, yet he supports ethanol subsidies, deflating the US dollar, keeping the US tax code with a 59 page modification and has offer no substantial plan to ease the massive US regulation
